well I didn't have the best of days, today I went to lunch and when I got up to my car, I realized the back window was broken out. They took my ipod out of the glove compartment (which makes me wish that we had locks on them) and they got my face plate. I would get some pics up but I can't find my micro sd card adapter. But anyways, Im thinking this is a good reason to get an alarm and what ones would you guys recomend? Im thinking about a remote start and not too pricy. ANd also can I just go to Pioneer and get a new face plate? Or what would I have to do?
thanks guys

 

you can order a new face plate if you have the right model number, as for the alarm/remote start, go with a viper alarm system, one of the best on the market. if you dont have the cash see if you cant get a stock one from gm.

 

sucks to hear that. I hate thieves!

any alarm by DEI you can pretty much expect to be of decent quality. Not sure about buying a seperate face plate. Whats the point of having a removable faceplate if you didnt remove it?

 

removing the faceplate is one of those things that you do at first but after a while you just start slacking and then just quit completely, i cant think of anybody who takes their face plate off when they get out of their car

 

Check ebay. Sometimes people sell the faceplates for cheap. Ordering from pioneer you have to create an account to do anything. I have an account because I have had to order a new dial for the volume control. What model stereo do you have, I can find out how much it would cost for you to oreder one from pioneer.

 

i have a compustar remote starter/alarm its awesome and it has a 5000' range.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss man, thats a shame. The best alarms I've had the pleasure of working with are CompuSTAR. Very high quality components, easy to use, and i believe they even won a few Innovations awards at CES a year or so back...


Oh and Blznlow, I have a two-way paging LCD alarm withtilt switches, glass break, shock,and proximity sensors. And I still remove my faceplate and put a club on my car "every" time i lock up my vehicle...

 

well the thing is I had the faceplate removed which is the real kicker it was in the case in the center console and the weird thing is, is that they left the case and remote. BTW its a 590-ib (or 590ub cant remember)

--oh and I've ALWAYS taken the faceplate off whenever I leave the truck

 

I also have a compustar remote starter/alarm. wouldn't trade it for anything.mine has 6000' range, its the Compustar Pro P2WSS-AS. Compustar is manufactured by DEI. if you want to go cheaper but with a nice unit...code alarm has some nice stuff.

 

My truck was broken into, in my driveway last New Years Eve. There was body and lock damage done as well as the stolen stereo.
The stupid theives left the old 35mm film containers that had roughly $200.00 in change in them.
Makes me wish it was easier to buy a gun in Canada. I'm getting an alarm system as soon as I finish my restoration. I'm also thinking about a home security video system linked to the computer.
